Sorry when I think of Moldeiva I think of Dynasty masscre Yes I been binge watching Dynasty and Dallas LOL! Moldovans headed to the polls on Sunday to vote in the country's presidential election and in a referendum on joining the European Union. Incumbent President Maia Sandu is seeking a second term in office, but she is unlikely to win the 50% majority needed to avoid a runoff. Besides choosing a president, voters will also be participating in a referendum on whether the goal to join the EU should be enshrined in the constitution. Moldova, a largely agricultural country of around 2.5 million people, has sought to cut ties with Moscow and move closer to the EU since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The former Soviet republic began EU membership talks in June. www.dw.com/en/moldova-votes-in-presidential-election-eu-referendum/a-70544401

Well it official Moldova narrowly votes 'yes' to EU membership With more than 99% of the votes counted, the "yes" vote for EU membership in Moldova's referendum was slightly ahead at 50.28% — only 8,000 votes more than the anti-EU camp. Earlier, Moldovans appeared to have rejected plans for the former Soviet republic to add its goal of joining the EU to the constitution, according to preliminary results from 70% of ballots in the country's referendum from Sunday evening. Ballots from Moldovans living abroad were counted toward the end, giving the "yes" camp a last-minute push.
